Li-Fi is a new paradigm for optical wireless
technology to provide unprecedented connectivity within a localized
data-centric environment. The increasing demand for higher bandwidths, faster
and more secure data transmission as well as environmental and undoubtedly
human friendly technology heralds the start of a major shift in wireless
technology, a shift from RF to optical technologies.
Li-Fi, an
alternative to Wi-Fi that transmits data using the spectrum of visible light,
has achieved a new breakthrough, with UK scientists reporting transmission
speeds of 10Gbit/s more than 250 times faster than ‘super fast
’ broadband.
The fastest speed
previously reported was 3Gbit/s, achieved earlier this year by the Fraunhofer
Heinrich Hertz Institute in Germany. Chinese researchers also claimed this
month to have produced a 150Mbp/s connection, but some experts were doubtful
without seeing further proof.
Many experts
claim that Li-Fi represents the future of mobile internet thanks to its reduced
costs and greater efficiency compared to traditional Wi-Fi.
Both Wi-Fi and
Li-Fi transmit data over the electromagnetic spectrum, but whereas Wi-Fi utilizes
radio waves, Li-Fi uses visible light. This is a distinct advantage in that the
visible light is far more plentiful than the radio spectrum (10,000 times more
in fact) and can achieve far greater data density.so world can enjoy with this
much of speed no longer.

the legal history of Srilanka is abundant in cases of crime which shocked the nation. but among them all the Vicarage murder case is unparallelled in our annals .the double murder which occurred well over 30 plus years ago is a must reference for a student of law for its impeccable planning and its eventual uncovering and successful conviction . actually the case has been one of the finest displays of investigation by Srilanka Police .its no help if the actual details of the case is opened up here so let the suspense be the promoter for you to do your own investigation of the story and troop in to the cinema please... when our maestro Chandarn Ratnam unravels his masterpiece..
